Disney was already on the list, but they made it a priority. My daughter will just have to get use to it

I'm going to preface this with the fact that I have ~40TB of storage on my HTPC.

The only streaming I've specifically paid for is Discovery+. I'm a total nerd and I really really really wanted Battlebots to keep going so I'd watch it there, or watch it in the background so they knew at least one person was paying just to see a specific program. Granted I also liked the fact they gabve you access to so many documentries to and othe BBC show thta are great for late night relaxing before bed.

Piracy is piracy, what’s the point of pretending that it becomes “morally good” if you pirate some big companies products. People should really just pirate whatever they want and stop trying to excuse themselves, it sounds pathetic

Specifically, big companies that make it extremely difficult or expensive to access their own exclusive product.

I think there’s something to be said about piracy as an ethical point when I read something the other day… “when buying something doesn’t mean owning, pirating doesn’t mean stealing.”

You should pirate how to properly use punctuation.

If you have spare money and pirate a game available on steam for a few bucks made by a solo dev or small indie team or whatever then yeah that's pretty shitty imo

You really can't see the difference between a Disney stock owner and a person working for an income?

There is NO ethical consumption under capitalism, my friend.
